Faith Focus presents FPC's Got Talent on Wednesday, May 21! Dinner starts at 5:30 followed by the program at 6:00 p.m. in Fellowship Hall. Childcare is provided. This is a fundraiser for music ministry needs, such as paid singers. If you would like to perform (music, poetry, juggling, magic tricks, comedy, you get the idea!), please contact Carolyn Riggins/the office no later than May 4. 

Our April  Literary   Roundtable   selection is  Winter's Bone , a haunting, rural-Ozark novel by author Daniel Woodrell. The book follows Ree Dolly's search for her missing father, who has skipped bail, putting the family in danger of losing their house and the protection of their clan. The saga of this warrior-woman's quest unfolds at a rapid, suspense-building pace, with a poet's facility for stunning language and a storyteller's ear for backwoods vernacular.  Join APSU Prof. Joey Grisham and Pastor Greg to discuss the book on Thursday, April 24, from 6:30 to 8 pm at Hudubam Booktraders. Copies are available to borrow outside the church office on a first come, first served basis. The book has been adapted for the screen in a Lionsgate movie by the same title, starring Jennifer Lawrence, John Hawkes, Kevin Breznahan, and Dale Dickey.
